Today is the 30th March 2010 and i'm blogging directly from Brunei . Eating instant noodles from a huge metal CUP while Facebooking and watching movie, apart from my Restaurant City game turned on . Pretty good at multi-tasking huh ?

This is is my third day at Brunei and am staying inside the military camp . Next of kin ( NOK ) bunks are all temporary unavailable at the moment so we're currently staying at the officers block . Much of the rules have to be kept in mind but i guess this is just the way they all get things done in order . Though we have a room to ourselves and an attached washroom, but laundry and stuffs are basically shared and done publicly . If you're thinking doing laundry manually like those olden days whereby aunties flap and smack clothes on the rock by the river, hahaha . . . . no . I mean washing machine and fabric dryer here . Room situation is not as tidy as you think even though we lived here for less then five days .

Yeah, so much so for staying in Brunei, oh, and i see and hear helicopters almost everyday, but that's all i can say, these things as yall know . . . classified .

I could say that this school vacation was pretty much put to a good usage with all the programs and things added in . Work, graduation ball, graduation trip to Hong Kong and right now i'm at Brunei with my lovely husband . Kinda miss out my family in the picture but nah, they'll understand .

I still miss them very much for not being home most of the time . I used to stay at home all day during vacation with the idea of accompanying my mom during the day because no one is home with her . I miss how my younger sister and i spend the nights together talking about the crappiest stuffs in the world . Yes, i'm finally home sick, but i know i have to get used to this once i move out for a new house with my husband . From all of us siblings sleeping in a small room back in the old house, to now sleeping separately, and next lesser people in the house, things and people really do change, and changes pretty fast . It's saddening, but this is the way of life .

Well well, let's move on shall we . . . bought myself a new running shoes at Brunei and it's pretty cheap, together with some sports wear . I'm ready for some run with my husband since he's always running here . =) .

Right now, i'm gonna have to collect laundry from the dryer . Will blog again soon, good day, people . =D

Today is the 16th March 2010 . Can't really say how much happened during this period where i got myself missing, but sufficient enough to get me tamed down .

Been working a lot, except for this week, where all the part timers can back to work as this period is their holidays . All i ever wanna do now is work i guess, and hope to meet my husband every month at least, given my salary i earn .

Prom night was held the other day on the 12th March 2010 at Shangri-La Hotel . My dress wasn't delivered on time so i hadda do last minute shopping for dress at Far East Plaza . Bought dress, head home, showered, put on light make up and off i went for hair-do and that's all about it, nothing glamourous or big . I realized, being natural is good enough . =) .

Reached the hotel, i was surprised that lotsa girls was still having the ''instant fame'' thinking such that they wear a dress so out of theme and put them in the lime light . Well, yeah, we've got victorian dress and ''wedding cakes'' walking around, and a handful of girls dressed up for Grammy Awards ? Haha, okay, alright, no more joking .

It was a pleasant night, it really was, how can it not be with the best of friends ?

Before entering the ballroom . They're forever the best friends .

At our table .

Shirley and me with mask . =) . We have the same mask . =)

Halfway through, we went to the washroom and they took some photos, i wasn't photogenic so i sat one side and this is what i got . Haha .

But in the end i still did took some photos . =)

And we came out of the washroom and took more photos . Except Shirley and Khng took more than more . Haha . Just guess how much ? More !

End of the dinner, and it's dark coz it's dance time . =)

We came out and took photos again . =)


My mask, cost me SGD 15 .

My ticket was number 100, and drew me a Canon camera during the lucky draw . Top 4th prize . I checked it online, it costs SGD 349 at Courts . =) . I'm lucky .

So Mr. Husband suggested we do a opening ceremony on the camera and we took a couple shot . =) . It was after the dinner and dance, on our way home in the car ride .

After we went home, dear dear got changed and we head out to join Shirley and gang for a drink . By pass a showroom at Clarke Quay and i took a photo of this Lamborghini with my new camera . =)

By me .

Group shot .

Today is the 2nd March 2009 . Can't find a better time to blog after neglecting my blog for such a long time . Been working much lately, hoping i could earn a bit for my upcoming Hong Kong trip with my friends . With rough estimates, i should be able to return Hong Choo when i get my all my three pay from the three respective companies . I should receive about $120 from some world's worst company, $168 from Penny Black and about $385 from SABA . Yeah, at least i still have $50 to spend at Hong Kong, better than nothing .

I'm not exactly feeling well at the moment, i'm having on and off fever since the day before yesterday, cough, and had my first day of period yesterday, plus, diarrhea today so i'll just make things short . Pictures taken during the Brunei trip and a video at the end . =)



Big feast . Lol . What's not in the fridge .

And what's in the fridge . Haha .

Camp dinner together and this is the fruits dish, i find the decoration pretty nice compared to other places in Brunei .

Fire Cracker hung up on the tree bunch . It's so long !

This is the before, when hanging the fire cracker was a brain teaser . LOL

Small hand crackers ?



Nice shot eh ? Taken by me . Muahahaha .

Three boxes fulla crackers, a total of 900 plus bucks Brunei currency . Bear in mind Brunei currency is of the same strength as Singapore currency .

He got one .

So did i . =)

Surprise roses with bear that woke me up from sleep . =)

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PANDA ! !

The infrastructure is more or less similar to those of Singapore . However, i'm sorry to tell you it only applies to major expressways . Haha .

Isn't it peaceful ? Driving back ''home'' with your love one down the straight road during sunset .

During one of the days, he brought me to The Empire Country Club & Hotel, which was up the show in one of Singapore's travel TV programmes . It was amazing .

Now do you know why ? ( If you still don't, it's okay, i'll tell you, because it's situated in a perfect spot so you can see the ocean, like real ocean . )

The pool of water on the bottom of the picture is the infinity pool within the country club .

This is the main building i suppose, coz that's where the main entrance is . Lol .


Taken during the long escalator trip .

Sunset from within the main building .





And the ocean view from within the ocean view . So beautiful .

And after which the visit ends, he booked a hotel junior suite a few days later for just us . =) . I didn't shoot the interior of the suite because i video it down . Lazy to upload anyway .

But i got a shot of us in the suite . =)

We're the perfect couple, just not in the perfect location . Alright, i gotta rest now, i feel so sick from the coughing that i have to bear .

Good day, everyone .
